Kinda, maybe.  I just finished a long discussion with Bob Nestor about it.

If you have a [7-9][5-6]00 machine with the disk to be shared on SCSI bus 0
then you can use the port-mac68k tools to set everything up except, maybe,
the device files.  Even then you may be able to boot single-user long
enough to run /dev/MAKEDEV.  If you don't fit that subset then you need to
wait for people to beat sysinst into shape.  It may not be hard, but it's
not done yet.
